An Oral Challenge Can Help You Get Over Your Allergy

An oral challenge is a procedure that's still relatively new but has proven to be very effective in helping people overcome severe allergies for good.

It's done under medical supervision, and the person is given a very small amount of the food that initiated an allergic reaction. With each increased amount, the person gets used to the allergen, and eventually is not allergic to it anymore.

At Asthma & Allergy Clinic, we're ready to take on your case and help determine specific allergies you may have, and begin treating them. Call us
